I think EAGAIN(migration retrial) is better than EBUSY(bailout) because
expectation is that zsmalloc will release the empty zs_page soon so
at next retrial, it will be succeeded.
About schedule_work, as you said, we don't make sure when it happens but
I believe it will happen in a migration iteration most of case.
How often do you see that case?

At a first glance, I think it work but the question is that it a same problem
ith schedule_work of zs_page_putback. IOW, Until the work is done, compaction
cannot succeed. Do you have any number before and after?

Thanks.
